Description: In The Military and Society in the Former Eastern Bloc, an assortment of regional specialists in military relations are gathered together to comment on the current state of the military in a number of Eastern bloc states, including Russia, Ukraine, Latvia, Mongolia, Poland, Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic, and Bulgaria.

Each chapter provides more than a simple status report on military readiness in these states, focusing instead on the relationship between the military, politics, and society in these new democracies. Further, contributors evaluate and predict the future of the military in political developments in these regions.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
